My web connection is being funky right now so I can't post the link here right now. Try going to the Samsung site and loging in there. They have password reset options that should let you reset your accont password for your phone. If you don't know the password at all they also have recovery options that let you reset your password via email.

I did do a hard reset, basically lost a lot.. did a partial back-up but still a hard feeling.. anyway, my SGS2 CONTINUEs NOT to RECOGNISE SIM CARDS.. It's been just over a year.. almost no problem at all and THIS HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN, actually after a battery change. Stuck on flight mode.. AND after the hard reset, IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME.. I do all that I do over wireless network.. but basically, IT'S NOT A PHONE FOR ME ANYMORE.

Please HELP!

That sounds like a hardware issue. Have you considered taking it back to the store to see what your warranty options are?

As much as I would really like to believe that this is somehow a deep-but-witty statement about the absurdity of SOPA, it’s obviously a type page that got sent out before anyone took so much as a half-second look at the unique query’s material. That being said, Sega of The united states has at least launched videos clip confessing that their reaction was non-applicable and a car incident. Not only that, but they do a excellent job of creating fun of themselves while they are at it.

Guys I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S2(2.3.5) through the mobile option (sofware update) and it advised me not to interrupt the installation which could cause data loss. So I downloaded the file on the mobile and directly started the firmware update process. The screen was giving a percentage installation screen after just 53% the mobile died. I couldn't turn it on at all. I wonder what could be the problem. Could any one advice on this matter. I really need help. I just want to bring the mobile working again.note that the batter was like 30% left and I tested another batter on my mobile but no use. COuld this last update be the main cause and if so can I delete it after turning it on which I cant.

My Galaxy S2 has died, it started with the screen losing the picture, just the pixels were left. When connected to my PC I could see what was in the mobile memory but not now, though it does still connect. The only thing I can see now is the illuminated 'back' and 'settings' at the bottom of the device either side of the Home button. I have tried a hard reset but that doesn't seem to work, anyone any ideas?

[b[b]]Good Morning, I am a greenhorn here, and this is my first attempt at trying to solve the problem of updating my android Galaxy S2 I really love my phone, and it is an old ATT phone that was converted to straight talk phone. I am really happy with it but need to know how to up grade my software or firm ware, to enhance my phone and make it more compatable with today's technology. I can't afford expensive upgrades and nothing is wrong with my current phone. Only issue I have is the battery does not hold a charge long, and the battery heats up at times, I have to cool it down. So my question is what do I do about the firmware, how to install and what battery can I replace the old one with to make it more compatable with my current app programs?[/b][/b]
